All great points. I don't think this scenario is as far fetched as we may think. Similarly with the Eire Og B team. Again, with many players over the 30 mark. What happens if Eire Og A get relegated? Do the B automatically have to move down a division? On a separate note, I fancy Ballon to be senior next year. Quite the rise for them ! Super impressive.

The Training Centre should be fine for one of those games say Bagenalstown v Tinryland. It has turnstiles for ticket entry, it has floodlights and a shop etc. There'd need to be no other activity going on there though as the car park would be an issue then. Re McGrath Park in fairness the county board have spent a lot on the Training Centre over the past decade and I don't think the GAA owns McGrath park which is owned by some sort of community set up. McGrath park has improved lately and still has a great view from the far bank and I believe there are plans for a small stand.

I'm not 100% sure if I'm correct with this, but I'm fairly sure when 3 teams are level on points and H2H cancels itself out it's only the score difference from the games including the 3 teams count. Therefore the results vs. Pal would be irrelevant as far as I know

That's correct, it was changed two or three years ago. Ignoring games v Palatine, the scoring difference currently looks like: Bagenalstown +14 Tinryland -2 Fenagh -12 So Fenagh need to get a result against Palatine or hope Bagenalstown beat or draw with Tinryland.

When was the last time you were in Mc grath park? The last century? Huge work done there in the last few years But don't let the facts get in the way of a good aul moan.

Been a very interesting champ so far lots of surprises, underperformers and good showings. Standard has been good by some teams etc. Rathvilly and pal have certainly showed best so far both super fit and well coached. i think neither has shown their full hand yet although hard to judge pal fully based off of the manner of their wins.

Last month. I am talking about how it ranks comparatively to Dr Cullen Park, as opposed to in the past. There was a time, for example, when the last round of the hurling (so all games would start at the same time), would have been played at Dr Cullen, McGrath and either Brother Leo or Spellman. Now everything is in the county grounds. By the way, I am not a fan of the Training Centre at all. It actually quite suits me geographically personally,, but it's too far from the population centers, and you a lot of townies don't have cars. Plus, kids are reliant on people to drive them there.

Training centre is the worst place possible for matches. Absolutely detest the place and the dressing rooms are brutal as well.

There's no reason why games can't take place in Spellman Park, Br. Leo Park, Tinryland and Carlow Town HC and McGrath Park (if scoreboards were added). Even grounds like, Leighlinbridge, Myshall, Fenagh, Fighting Cocks, Eire Og should be capable of hosting games. ACarlowGael (Carlow) - Posts: 3 - 17/09/2025 12:31:41 2636564 Link 0 |
I think you hit the nail on the head as to why club grounds are not used with your second paragraph, cb do not want to give up any money to clubs when they dont have to. The shine has really been removed from the training centre over the last few years with the lack of development, there is changes happening now but that wont be seen for years. If b'town are really putting a stand in it really is primed for championship action and the cb should be really open to supporting a club like them to do it for the enjoyment of the whole county. more4me (Carlow) - Posts: 114 - 17/09/2025 13:16:05 2636573 Link 0 |
